Pros

Lots of demand, so job security is pretty good assuming the company is still around a year from now and doesn’t spin off the installation branches into a different company or bankrupt that entity.

Cons

Every project is rushed, so you basically are perpetually picking up the pieces as it’s all built. Also other companies you work with are always trying to scam JCI for a quick buck. There’s also an insane lack of talent to pull from, so with a few years experience you’ll find that you’re all alone, with the only people capable of helping you being long retired. Management has a way of driving the company with the pedal floored while the check-engine light is on. I’ve noticed the only happy employees are incompetent salespeople who don’t put any effort into developing what they sell, so you’re left to figure out what they sold. No one in sales ever gets fired either. At this point if I quit or fell ill, our company would be the subject of multiple lawsuits by our customers, just because the only person left to absorb the workload would be my boss, who’s prepared to retire. His boss I don’t think has worked a day in the past twenty years; just moves spreadsheets around and sends nasty-grams when timecards are late.

Pros

Flexi-benefits, remote work arrangement, work life balance depending on your manager

Cons

This company is always undergoing reorganisation. Some people are against global changes and are still stuck in the previous operating model which is siloed. So don't be surprised at the power struggle in this company. By right, there are plenty of resources but some people don't want to work with them on the basis of cultural differences and will keep insisting to push work to the same country person even though they are in different departments!

Pros

Great team and coworkers. Mostly reachable goals

Cons

Low pay. No market adjustments for current employees. I just completed hiring for my team. 50% of my direct reports now make more than I do... The other 50% are just below. Leadership doesn't seem interested in adjusting my comp any time soon. just delaying . "Wait until after January and we will see what we can do". Recently got a promotion and Received a very small increase... This would have been a perfect opportunity for JCI to bring my compensation to a competitive rate but they stated "guidelines" only allow a small raise. I get great annual reviews. I have tried everything. Time to look for other opportunities outside JCI...most likely with a competitor.
